Chapman Touches 104 MPH While Striking Out the Side

Fire.

Reds closer Aroldis Chapman breaks 100 MPH on the mound pretty regularly. But last night, he put on a performance for the ages. Over the course of striking out the side in the ninth, Chapman threw five pitches at 103 MPH and one at 104 MPH. Ridiculous heat.
